Summer Camp 2019
Summer Camp #4 It was time to escape the heat of summer in Texas. So we packed up our stuff and headed up north, where the summers are lovely…and the people are too. Horses My first stop every time we go to Ohio is to say hi to Annie and Blooper. These are PeePaw’s horses. …
First Flight: The Beginning of My Adventures
My name is Kai Venture, and I have a really big secret. Please don’t tell my parents. They would probably freak out. Can you keep my secret? Okay, here goes: I have a time machine! I know it sounds crazy, but it all started years ago when I was just a baby. One day, Ma…
Kaua’i – The Beach Bro
We had done a lot of running around to see the Island of Kaua’i, but I’m a beach bum at heart. I was here to put my toes in the sand and put my bum in the water. The apartment turned out to be perfect. We had a view of the ocean from our patio…
Kaua’i – More than the beach life
Aloha! I’m sorry. I couldn’t resist. This trip was to Kaua‘i, known as the Garden Isle of Hawaii. After spending a week here, I totally get the name. I was looking forward to this trip. Not just because I love the beach and water but because I was headed to my namesake. In Hawaiian, my…
Eating our way through Charleston
This trip was definitely not for me. Pa had been wanting to come to Charleston for a long time. Yes, there is history, beautiful plantations, and just a lot to see.

Swiss fun with a hint of Liechtenstein
The Arrival! What a start to our trip. The landing into the London airport was rough, and I got a bit sick. That had Ma and Pa distracted. We had a longer layover, so we were not really in any rush to get off the plane. I did what I needed to do, and we…
A night in Tirano
Tirano is a small town in Northern Italy right on the border of Switzerland. The river Adda runs right through the middle of town. Triano may be a small town, but it was still in Italy and when in Italy, one must consume pizza and gelato. Because it was too early to get into our…
Lakehouse fun
Road trip time. We loaded up the car with food and floaties and headed to a lake house in East Texas with some of Pa’s friends. This was going to be an awesome weekend of swimming, jet skiing, and just good fun with friends. It started with me getting to know the “good” Liam. As…
Summer Camp – 2018
I was looking forward to my third summer camp with MeeMaw and PeePaw. Ohio summers are the best. Texas is just way too hot to enjoy. I take one step outside, and my hair looks like Pa’s when he is out opening restaurants… #crazyhair. Horses The first stop for every summer camp is to go…
